How Frozen Garage Pipe Water Cleanup Works in Morenci

1. Remove accessible standing water

   The crew extracts pooled water from the Morenci room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   A swollen baseboard can conceal a damp wall edge that needs access.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Closed wall cavities lose moisture slowly without access and airflow. Readings help the crew decide whether an opening is needed.

• Shut off the water from a safe location.
• Leave wet tools and outlets untouched.
• Ask a plumber to handle the frozen garage line.
• Move dry items away from water if the floor is safe.
• Keep the interior door closed if water is moving toward it.
